up late
chilled
went out to a Koala bar at 6.00pm and met a group of couch surfers, a girl from hong kong, 3 guys from the US, a Spanish girl, a guy from Singapore who kept telling me how i must visit Vietnam while I’m in Thailand. all great people, but of cause they must be as everyone on couch surfing is Awesome!
Everyone was really cool and had some funny stories.
After the bar we all headed to a live music event Couch Surfing Style to see some crazy/awesome bands! There were two bands on gochick from shanghai and New Pants from beijing. both pretty Awesome

we walked in to some weird home made video with vampires and ghosts being played to some slow electro music......really strange. they were only around 100 or so people there all stood around the dance floor and nobody on the actual dance floor so we all decided to go get some noodles and some cheep beer from the place next door and come back when the bands are on and its abet more lively. After drinking some cans of 30p beer and eating some tasty chicken noodles we headed back to the music event.
Couch Surfers are crazy dancers!!! they insisted that we dance right in the middle of the mosh pit and this was one crazy mosh pit, everyone pretty much just pushing each other not really dancing and everyone trying to crowd surf and many failing in a humorous display, crazy fun though. later in the night we invited a girl we met in a club the other night to come down, she arived just as we were leaving.
after the club we all decided to go to a nightclub called Shelter, apparently its an old converted bomb shelter. it was pretty darn awesome! i spent most of the time dancing with and talking to this really cool girl from Hong Kong. The place was full of crazy dancers, great music as well which can be hard to find in Shanghai nightclubs! These couch surfers really do know the good places to go. later in the night I realized that chen and that girl we invited out earlier were not with us and my phone had gone dead so I had no way of contacting him. I left the cub at around 5.00pm with the hong kong girl. I asked her the Mandarin for Subway as I couldn’t pronouns chens address and a taxi all the way would be expensive and I knew my way back through the subway. I flagged a taxi said some word I didn’t understand, the guy started talking chinease to me so I just said the word again.
i think he must of understood as he set off and I eventually reached the subway.
overall great night, met plenty of cool people with tones of interesting things to say.
Couch Surfing parties are the best parties!
